Mariana Scott, poet and translator of Hofmannsthal, Meyrink, Celan, and others, translates the eighth-century Old Saxon Heliand into its original meter in this work originally published in 1966. This anonymous masterpiece presents the life of Christ and affords an excellent insight into medieval life.
